[the observer]: there is but one place where sparse is radiance and grandeur is none perpetual eclipse eternal for the sun is their superior and when such an icon fades all other icons burn the valley made of smoke whose air is made of poison curse be upon the man who ventures near a trinity of idols stands so tall as they burn without end under falling grey skies symbolic keepers of what is to come where no man ever dreams again beyond the icons burning [the voyager]: i am the traveler i am the witness and i am the follower and i cannot go back for i am forbidden for only a fleeting moment i saw the sun break the shadows but even it fears the beyond and it cannot tame the unlight all that shimmers now dulls beyond the icons burning where light touches none where the earth grows barren i am the traveler and i am the witness their flames signal the point of no return

[the voyager]: occult miasma life's breath now poison each inhalation taken venom inside agitates inexorable through exhalation i count the days endlessly until no longer can i breath clean air this blight i inherited a bane of my existence every day hurts greater like a perpetual dark tunnel from out of the shadows to a degenerating spirit thus speaks an entity [the observer]: "take this poison if you wish to breath clean air once again for what you breath reeks of lead and mercury the poisons which leads a man on a downward spiral towards suffering i give to you the final solution just keep at ease for it comes ever swiftly without so much as a whisper for anticipation is true despair take the poison if you wish to breath clean air once again"
4.
[the voyager]: in the gathering dark at tunnels end there stands a light and so onwards i make haste yet with prejudice so the light also makes haste unchallenged haste [chorus]: and the threshold remains unbroken so close yet so far away [the voyager]: in the static well i wake in the soundless void i break at breakneck velocity i make onwards towards tunnels end but yet again it continues away all open spaces close inwards all resolve within decaying no progression (observer: like a nightmare perpetual) or regression (observer: cyclic night torture) a prison of my own mind games energy running dry shutdown imminent [chorus]: and the threshold remains unbroken so close yet so far away
5.
[the voyager]: you whose presence dwells obscure are you here to kill me? do not deny do not deny what you wish! i feel you hate surging as your ominous presence lingers about for it coursed within your wretched state of being when you were flesh and blood why, watcher, do you hesitate? my tired eyes have seen enough quickly now, before i reconsider here i lie, defenseless and weak deliver your strike with haste oh watcher, why do you vanish? has the coward within claimed it's stead? make your presence known do what needs to be done

Maelstrom 07:43
[the voyager]: AGONY! your claws rip through my flesh this devilry i cannot comprehend does your heart carry the strength? to be the bearer of pain when the pain was borne upon you you will not turn me away!! HAVOC! by what extent do you incorporate? does your heart carry the strength? to bring forth madness to your own dominion you will not turn me away! i know not of who you are nor where you come from but i know why you haunt this place it was your demise is a symbiotic existence demanding too much? my heart carries not the strength to ward you off over yonder for this place too is mine
7.
[the observer]: and the moon became naught shades of night behind and the surround was blind that which cannot be seen lays within as a burden that which cannot be undone trepidation [the voyager]: the mystery despairs piercing that what is i wander in the night thoughts of horror too great for that which cannot be seen invokes me horror too great the mystery lingers ascending crescendos the despairs come in waves i no longer can find comfort beneath the obscurity i despair [the observer]: the mystery reveals black wings unravel shape disproportionate clearly unhuman fire where it's eyes should be but not to be a sight no one should behold [the voyager]: the mystery lusts gaze fixated hither i am next my blood entices nevermore awaits me yet by my hands the end less severe
8.
The Pale 15:40
I: grey dawn [the voyager]: hold fast! in the deadwood maze your congregation hides! the band cloaked in black i have seen throughout wandering the painted grey i know not of what your intentions be but do you know of mine? ask me, and yet i may respond in the grandeur ridden melancholy in this era of the falling i seek resolve! to ease a mind troubled i beckon out and yet silence remains with your thousand-yard stare underneath the veil haze-enveloped disposition II: last resort [the voyager]: listen! i hear your whispers hear out what i may say for my intentions are clear can you cure a damaged conscience? what is the answer to resolve? what is the answer? III: nil [the observer]: nothing but a blank stare nothing but a silent scream only silence IV: grey dusk [the voyager]: return! why now do you leave me? i know not of what my intentions be help me help myself do not yet depart me for the coming rain will hurt tonight
